Original artwork description:

Compression is a series of work which composition is made by pressing down the filler and letting it form itself, much like rolling out dough. As such it also functions as a cross section of a potensial three dimensional form, which could continue outwards into the room, and do continues inwards into the work.

A percieved image is always a cross section of the sum of lightbeams passing through a plane, or a screen, at a certain moment. The work deals with the relationship between images and the real world, between the two and the three dimension realities.

But it is also about the fact that pressure is what defining how everything is shaped. The form of an object is a description of the different pressures, or forces, working upon it. The same goes for all phenomena, like societies and personalities. The pressures working on us is revealed in how we act and present ourselves.

Materials used:

Filler (coarse and fine) in oak frame
